Measurements

4.8.2

Measuring of power and current consumption by means of current
clamp

WARNING

It is important to observe these principles for proper measurement:
Both the REVEXmax and the tested appliance must be powered from
identical phase.

Procedure:

•

Press the

[9 Power]

key repeatedly in order to select the external method.

The symbol

is displayed.

•

Connect the optional current clamp to the terminal

•

Switch on the tested appliance’s mains switch.

•

Enclose with current clamp’s jaws live conductor L of the measured appliance.

•

Press the

[TEST]

key.

•

The last measured values are displayed after finishing the measurement.

•

Switch off the tested appliance’s mains switch.

If the measured value of power is higher than the highest measurable value the
symbol

>>>>

appears.
